In a move to modernize and streamline its evaluation processes, Partido State University held an online orientation on the implementation of its new Teaching Effectiveness Instrument for the First Semester of SY 2025–2026 on November 24, 2025, engaging students across all campuses.

The activity aimed to ensure that all stakeholders, especially the learners who serve as primary evaluators, are fully aware of the updated system and prepared for its full implementation. The Academic Council previously endorsed the revised instrument, which will now be administered through an automated digital platform to promote a more efficient, transparent, and uniform evaluation process.

Grounded in an enhanced assessment framework, the new tool integrates outcomes-based education, flexible learning strategies, and student-centered approaches. It reflects ParSU’s commitment to transparency, continuous improvement, and accountability, ensuring that faculty evaluations remain fair, development-driven, and attuned to modern learning needs.

During the orientation, VPAA Dr. Michael A. Clores emphasized the crucial role students play in elevating the quality of instruction across the University. He highlighted that ParSU’s commitment to pursue excellence in learning and teaching begins with recognizing that “the quality of teaching defines the quality of learning.”

Dr. Clores underscored that student feedback is not merely a requirement but a powerful tool that shapes the classroom experience and drives faculty growth. “Your voices matter,” he told the students, stressing that they hold a “big role in shaping education” and that their participation ensures that learning becomes more responsive, dynamic, and transformative.

He further clarified that the instrument “is not meant to judge our faculty, but to help them refine their craft.” By offering constructive insights, students become active partners in building better learning environments, where teaching evolves based on real student experiences and aspirations.

Through this initiative, ParSU strengthens its commitment to SDG 4: Quality Education by promoting continuous improvement in teaching, enhancing instructional effectiveness, and building a more inclusive, student-driven academic culture.

Partido State University (ParSU) reinforced its commitment to campus safety and community resilience through a two-day program featuring the election of National Service Reserve Corps (NSRC) officers, a Water Search and Rescue (WASAR) Orientation, and NSRC Leadership Training held on November 20–21 at the University Gymnasium.

Led by the National Service Training Program (NSTP) Unit, the activity aimed to build leadership within the NSRC while equipping students with life-saving skills and a strong understanding of their role in disaster preparedness and civic responsibility.

A key highlight was the WASAR Orientation conducted by the Philippine Coast Guard, which provided students with essential knowledge on water rescue techniques, safety protocols, and emergency response procedures. The training is particularly vital for the coastal and flood-prone areas of Partido, where residents are frequently exposed to typhoons, flash floods, and other water-related hazards.

NSRC Coordinator Ellisha Joy V. Bombales opened the event, followed by the presentation of candidates and the election process, which was facilitated by NSTP staff member Junie Grace B. Casais. NSTP Director Dr. Maria Aurora G. Caballero emphasized the importance of youth volunteerism and the NSRC’s critical contribution to national and local emergency response. Following the elections, the newly elected officers took their oath, officially assuming their responsibilities.

The Leadership Training further enhanced the competencies of NSRC volunteers through lectures and workshops on volunteerism, community leadership, emergency response, campus NSRC SWOT analysis, and disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) planning, led by Engineering Department Chair Engr. Marjorie C. Atole, MDRRMO Goa MGDH I Mr. Vincent Albert G. Garchitorena, Ms. Casais, Dr. Caballero, and DRRM Facilitator Karlo Pedro L. Medroso II.

ParSU recognizes that building a culture of preparedness is a shared responsibility. By equipping students with rescue readiness, leadership, and civic engagement skills, the University ensures that its student-volunteers can respond effectively to emergencies and serve both the campus and the broader community. These initiatives contribute to Sustainable Development Goals 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and 13 (Climate Action), reinforcing ParSU’s commitment to shaping a safer and more resilient Partido.
